Chapter 6. Using System Management Services

Use the System Management Services to view information about your server and to
perform such tasks as setting passwords and changing device configurations.
If you have chosen a graphical display as your system console, you can use the
graphical System Management Services described below. If you are using an ASCII
display as your system console, see "Text-Based System Management Services" on
page 6-23.

Graphical System Management Services

To start the Open Firmware command line or graphical System Management
Services, turn on or restart the server.
The firmware version installed in your server is displayed at the bottom right corner
of the initial logo screen. Please note the version number; processor upgrades may
require a specified version of firmware to be installed in your server. (Update
System Firmware is an option under the Utilities menu in the System Management
Services.)
After the logo is displayed, initialization icons appear across the bottom of the
screen.
To enter the graphical System Management Services, you must press the F1 key
after the keyboard icon appears during startup, but before the audible tone.
If you have pressed the F1 key, the System Management Services screen appears
after the initialization and power-on self-test (POST) are complete.
Note: If you have installed a privileged-access password, you are prompted for this
password before you gain access to the System Management Services
menu.
